1 Peter 2 4-5

“We are living stones. Whoa. We are just like Jesus, the living stone. It almost hurts to say that, because we don't want to believe that. We're programmed ourselves not to think like that. See, if Jesus was chosen and Jesus was precious to God, so are we. I don't know about you, that makes me really happy. Doesn't it feel great to be compared to Jesus in a positive sense? You are like Jesus. You are a living stone. So if Jesus is the stone upon which the entire Holy Temple is being built upon, we're part of the building. You're part of the building. You are part of the temple of God on earth, and notice that the house that's being built is spiritual, pneumatic-ass, of the Spirit. This means that the house is being built in a spiritual nature. We're obviously not talking about cement and wood. It is of the Spirit, the very nature of the building that's being built by God through Jesus Christ is indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Anything that's spiritual, the Holy Spirit has his breath in it.”
